Landmark Cases in International Refugee Protection (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This volume examines judicial decisions that have shaped the field of refugee law.

Each chapter focuses on a single case, analysing the decision in that case but also locating it in a wider legal and political context and tracing its subsequent impact on refugee law and policy. It shows how refugee protection is shaped by the intersection of different fields of law: refugee law, human rights law, and domestic constitutional provisions.

Reflecting this complexity, the collection explores decisions from the UK, Canada, US, Kenya, Australia and Papua New Guinea; as well as regional courts including the European Court of Human Rights and Inter-American Court of Human Rights; the Court of Justice of the European Union, and decisions of the United Nations Human Rights treaty bodies. Authors include leading academics and practitioners in refugee and human rights law from a range of jurisdictions.

This book offers compelling insights for anyone with an interest in international refugee protection, human rights, and the development of international refugee law.
